Grandloves
Sacred Whims and Bittersweet Love: Grandloves Unveiled
Lyrics
Take all the little things away
Expressing a desire to remove or overlook small issues or details.
Seek all the dimensions that stray from my eyes
Searching for aspects or perspectives that are not immediately apparent.
Dig holes in me with wooden carved trowels
Metaphorically describing vulnerability, allowing oneself to be emotionally exposed.
Hold still in me the hops
Preserving the essence or essence of something fragile and delicate.
That left it's guard down
Referring to a moment of weakness or vulnerability.
Waking up is easy but you're breaking my whole thesis
Commenting on the ease of waking up contrasted with the emotional impact of a challenging situation.
I'm gon' feel it but you're flowing with the shaman, and another thing
Acknowledging emotional pain while observing someone else's spiritual journey.
I'm in love with truth and sick and tired of this youth
Expressing a longing for truth and weariness of youthful uncertainties.
And thinking that you're falling but you're stalling when you're holding me
Highlighting a contradiction between feeling a connection and experiencing a delay or hesitation.
I'll grow bitters on the borders of your whistling skin
Symbolic growth of negative emotions on the edges of one's vulnerable self.
I'll sew pockets of the locks that fall from your bristling chin
Metaphorically sewing pockets of emotional baggage that come from one's facial expressions.
Keep all my secrets in the trinkets dangling from the walls
Keeping personal secrets in symbolic trinkets hanging on walls.
Take what you are, make it, make it sacramental
Transforming someone's essence into something sacred.
I'm in love with you but sick and tired of this youth
Reiterating love while expressing frustration with youthful troubles.
I want it to be easy but I'm queasy at the thought of it
Desiring simplicity but feeling uneasy about the idea.
I don't need no proof, no lucky charm, no wisdom tooth
Rejecting the need for proof or external validation in love.
To know it in the same way of that feeling when you're loving me
Emphasizing an intuitive understanding of love.
Brew you a warm drink out of my tattered hulls
Symbolically offering warmth and comfort from one's own struggles.
Build you thick paper out of my clumsy skull
Creating something substantial out of one's own imperfections.
Silent, discreet, make your bouldering shoulders glow
Describing the quiet strength and support one provides.
My grandloves, I'll not finish what I done started
Committing to not abandon or fail to complete what was started in love.
I'm sick of this, you sick of that, I'm not as dumb as that
Expressing weariness and dissatisfaction, contrasting with the speaker's deeper, thoughtful desires.
I'm sick of this, you sick of that, I'm not as dumb as that
-I'm sick of this, you sick of that (my sacred pining whims)
-I'm not as dumb as that (my sacred vining whims)
-I'm sick of this, you sick of that (my sacred pining whims)
-I'm not as dumb as that (my sacred vining whims)
-I'm sick of this, you sick of that (my sacred pining whims)
-I'm not as dumb as that (my sacred vining whims)
-I'm sick of this, you sick of that (my sacred pining whims)
-I'm not as dumb as that (my sacred vining whims)
-I'll stake rare toothpicks in my dirt filled heart
Symbolically embedding rare moments of strength in a vulnerable heart.
Meander the sacred lot of you in every season
Wandering through the profound experiences shared with a loved one throughout life.
See that visual, you are invincible
Affirming the strength and invincibility of the loved one.
You hold it for your halo song
Highlighting the enduring and sacred nature of the relationship, comparing it to a halo song.
